Overhauling enchanting and villager trades

The current method of enchanting is heavily luck-based, and the current system of villager trades is overly powerful and tedious to deal with when using an anvil. So, I've come up with a suggestion that bridges the gap between luck and grind.

Instead of directly enchanting tools and armor, you would use an 'essence capsule' that accumulates knowledge as you use it, akin to a tool-specific leveling system.

In the enchanting table, you would place the tool along with a full capsule to enchant it to a desired level with a chosen enchantment. For example, if you want to enchant your pickaxe with Unbreaking, you would need to insert the pickaxe along with the capsule. For lower-level enchants, only the tool and essence capsule are required. For higher-tier enchants, you would also need an 'Expertise book' specific to that enchantment, which can be obtained through trades or found in various locations.

With this system, you would need to use your tools for longer periods, and their effectiveness would scale with enchants, rather than being directly applied. It's more akin to a skill tree for tools. Also, repairing the tool will no longer remove the enchantment.

  Enchanting system in my opinion needs to be reworked, but i dont think luck based aspect is bad, in case there is one set of endgame armor and tool and you just need to reroll until you get it, than yeah, its bad, but there can be more equaly good enchants that would encourage players for diffrent approach.

  Maybe players have to choose between more health, better regen or more speed on armor, on sword it can be more instant damage, or some kind or negative effects for mobs, maybe some kind of healing per damage dealt or some chance to deal very powerful hit or some kind of rage so player deal more damage when they are low heath. I really like how enchanting system works in minecraft dungeons and i would really like something like that beeing in minecraft.

  If i would have to suggest smaller upgrade it would propably be a two enchant limit on diamond armor and three enchant limit on netherite so players would really have to choose between enchants and not just hunt for 10 good enchants for boots..

   

  I also agree with villagers, they are too OP.
